Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Due to a change in family circumstances I had to emigrate to Australia earlier this year, I have approx £43,000 worth of debt in the UK - none in Aus. I have been paying back the debts no problem until now and I can't afford to keep up the repayments. I have no income over here, I stay at home with 2 small children and am not entitled to any benefits. My partners income is just enough for us to live on we survive on £500 a week for everything for 5 of us and there is nothing left over. Not sure as the best way forward , I am unable to move forwards with some things as I am not a UK resident and CCCS will not work with me because of this. Should I request a copy of my CCA from all the companies and then if they are unenforcable ignore those debts or should I go bankrupt - I am never returning to the UK to live. I can't afford to go bankrupt from here as I will need to hire a solicitor or fly to the UK. Has anyone any advice. I am hoping to get full time work next Jan at the start of the new academic year can I put off my creditors until then??
Do any of the creditors know you have left the UK.Know your address.Big decision you made to go,hope everything works out for you.Nothing left over.If they do know where you live perhaps making token payments is the way forward for now,If you decide this is the way forward i will get the letter for you to send.Perhaps first if they do know where you are CCA them but only if they know where you are.Will hold things up for a while.Closer to January.So-1-CCA them-2-If they find agreements-then token payment offer.or write my debt off letter.Bye for now Tawnyowl.
